X-Man '96

In 1996, Marvel launched this one-shot special spotlighting the alternate-reality mutant Nate Grey, the X-Man. Written by Ralph Macchio with art by Terry Dodson, the issue stands as a self-contained chapter in the character's early history, bridging his introduction from the "Age of Apocalypse" storyline into the main Marvel Universe. While brief, it captures the energy of the era's X-Men spin-offs, offering a focused look at a powerful young hero navigating a world not his own.
